Tea and Toast Thursdays

At 10.00am each Thursday, we welcome people to come for tea and toast in our lovely church hall. It's a great way to meet new people, chat and enjoy a good brew with delicious chunky toast and a range of home-made jams and marmalades. We have Mass at 9.30am in the church but you don't have to have been to Mass to come along and join us.
